October 31, 2006, 4:43 pm November Surprise? President Bush will hold no public events of any kind on Wednesday, an exceptionally light schedule this close to next Tuesday's midterm elections. That sparked questions about whether Bush has a "November surprise" in store. This is, after all, a president who has twice managed to sneak away to Iraq.
At the White House morning briefing, a reporter observed that the light schedule made it sound "like something is cooking there." Spokesman Tony Snow replied, "No, not really." That left some Democratic political operatives wondering just what Bush and his political guru, Karl Rove, might be up to. Despite polls showing Democrats poised to take control of the House and possibly the Senate, many Democrats remain fearful Rove will pull something out of his hat–disclosing the death or capture of Osama bin Laden, for instance–that will help Republican snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. If so, Snow is keeping on his poker face. Bush has "some meetings with senior advisers and a Rush Limbaugh interview," Snow said in an email. "No blockbusters." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:218954 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
